NEBRASKA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE at PERU

STUD,ENTS ARE REQUESTED TO BRING THEIR CATALOG WITH THEM TO THE CAMPUS FOR R'EFERENCE WHILE AT THE COLLEGE.

To Prospective Peruvians:

Peru State is the oldest college in Nebraska and the third oldest teacher-training institution west of the Missouri river. Peru was established the same yea-r Nebraska became a state. For 35 years it was the only teacher-training institution in Nebraska. For nine decades this College has been serving the young people of the state and surrounding states. During these 90 years thousands of young people have crossed the Campus of a Thousand Oaks and have gone forth to become teachers, adviser and friend to countless millions of children throughout the length and breadth of this great country.

The people of the State of Nebraska have made the facilities of this fine College available to you at a minimum of personal cost. The taxpayers of the state bear most of the cost of your college education exclusive of personal expenses. This support is in conformance with the deep-rooted American principle that every young person is entitled to a college education at reasonable expense to himself and to his family.

This College believes in high academic standards, in opportunities for self-expression and personal growth in a controlled group atmosphere. You will have an opportunity to know your

teachers well and to become acquainted with and associate with the finest young people anywhere. The opportunity to live with other young people in college residences offers occasion for friendship and growth for which even living at home is no complete substitute.

Some of our alumni have achieved fame and fortune. Some are situated in positions of high responsibility. The roll of honor of illustrious graduates is long and brilliant. But no matter what their station there is a loyalty to school and state which has been undimmed by the passing years. Because of this loyalty and affection, Peru has served the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of many of our first students.

The College faculty and staff is here to serve you. We will be happy to consult with you regarding your educational plans. . .

Si ncerely yours,

Neal S. Gamon, President.

GENERAL INFORMATION HISTORY

The same year Nebraska became a state, the new state legislature provided for the establishment of a training school for teachers or "normal school" at Peru. At that time only two other such institutions existed west of the Missouri River-one in Kansas and one in California. The school's beginning actually dates back to December 2, 1865, when its predecessor institution, Mount Vernon College, was organized by a group of early settlers who resolved to place the school under the "care and management of the Methodist Episcopal Church."

After the church declined the offer, Col. T. J. Majors, a leader in the War Between the States and a state legislator, proposed that the school be made the state university. Although the off e r was rejected, the state legislature on June 20, 1867, did accept the school as a ''normal school'' several months before the state university was established. For 38 years after the Peru school became a "normal school" it was the only teacher training institution in the state.

As Nebraska's population increased, the legislature provided for three other normal schools-at Kearney in 1905, at Wayne in 1910, and at Chadron in 1911. The legislature extended the normal schools from two years to four years in 1921, and authorized these institutions to grant the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Education, Bachelor of Science in Education, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education.

When the United States entered World War II, the College offered its staff and facilities to the government for the training of officers for the armed forces. The first unit of men in the Navy V-12 program arrived on July 1, 1943. During the time the ne a rly 500 trainees received college training, the College operated on an accelerated program for both civilian students and naval trainees. Since that time many of these trainees have used the hours of college credit earned at Peru for degree requirements at Peru or other institutions of higher learning throughout the nation.

The liberal arts curriculum which was authorized by the 1949 legislature made it possible for the teacher-training institutions to confer the Bachelor of Arts degree. At the same time the names of the schools were changed from State Normal Schools to State Teachers Colleges. In 1956 the Board of Education of State Normal Schools authorized these colleges to grant the Master of Science in Education and Master of Arts in Education degrees

Regular day students carrying a full load cannot be approved for correspondence study at the same time. For bulletin on course offerings and more complete information write to the Office of the Registrar.

CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS

College credit is expressed in terms of the "semester hour", which represents the satisfactory completion of three hours of work per week for one . semester (18 weeks). The work may include any type of activjty prescribed in the course-classroom work, preparation, laboratory or shop work, etc.

Students having earned less than 26 semester hours of credit are classified as freshmen; 26 to 55 hours as sophomores; 56 to 87hours as juniors; and 88 to 125 hours as seniors. Degree students earning additional undergraduate credit are classified as postgraduate students.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION

COURSE NUMBERS

Students enrolled in the Colle g e re g ister for courses correspondin g to their classification (freshman, sophomore, etc.) unless advised to do otherwise. Courses numbered 1-99 are unclassified and open to all students. Courses numbered 100-199 are for freshmen; 200-299 for sophomores; 300-399 for juniors; 400-499 for s eniors; 400G-499G for graduates and seniors ; 500-599 for graduates.

CLASS LOAD

Maximum number of hours credit which m a y be e a rned by a freshman durin g the first full semester is 17; nine is the load limit for a freshman in a summer session.

DEPARTMENTAL ASSISTANTS

Departmental Assistants are positions open to students in their major field . Generally these positions are intended for students who will enter graduate study directly upon g raduation from Peru.

As an Assistant, the stude n.t assists with preparation, administration, and evaluation of tests in lower division classes, a nd assists with various other classroom activities which will give him firsthand experience.

The position of Departmental Assistant carries no hours of credit. However, the experience is reco g nized by being placed upon the student's permanent record and becoming a part thereof.

CLASS ATTENDANCE

The College has no regulation which permits "cuts". Students a.re expected to attend classes regularly and do all assigned work in each class. The student agrees to this when he registers for a course. Attendance is a privile g e and a responsibility represented not only by the student's investment but also a considerable ,investment by the State.

Whenever the absenc es qf a student reach the point of being detrimental to the stucl.ent's standing in a class, the instructor will report same to the :Dean ' of Students. The Dean of Students will hold a conference with the instructor and the student at which time it will be determined whether or not the student will be allowed to continue in the class.

Instructors are under no obligation to allow students to make up work for absences for which there are no valid reasons, To 28

be assured of the privile g e of making up work missed, the student should confer with the instructor prior to the absence or1be sure that the reason for the absence will qualify for an excuse. Furthermore, the student can demonstrate an interest in his classes and a responsibility for his attendance by advising the instructors of his illness or other emergencies which prevent his attend a nce. No student is expected to attend classes when he is ill; particularly, if the illness be a communicable disease. ·

EXCUSES

The Dean of Students handles class and convocation attendance records, issuing excused or unexcused absences as policies dictate. Excused absences are granted for these reasons:

(1) illness, (2) transportation difficulties, (3) college-sponsored act ivities, ( 4) illness in immediate family, (5) funerals, (6) service-connected orders, e. g., reporting for physical examinations. Students are expected to notify their instructors and the Dean of Students of anticipated absences. Illness permits from the college nurse or physician are presented directly to the Dean of Students.

CONVOCATIONS

Convocation is held every other Wednesday. The Wednesday mornin g schedule is shortened allowing a convocation period of forty minutes from 9: 30 to !0: 10. The College officials believe there to be benefits from such meetings which may otherwise be omitted from the students' college life. The programs are educational, informative, and otherwise serve to promote spirit, loyalty, and increase the students' acquaintance in the college community It is for these reasons that attendance is required.

RESIDENT ATTENDANCE

A minimum of 24 hours of resident credit earned in the Colle g e is required for the issuance of a one-year diploma, and 30 hours resident credit earned in the College are required for a 2-year diploma or a degree. Twenty-four of the last 30 hours of work for a degree and 12 of the last 15 for a two-year diploma must be earned in residence at the College

.QRADING SYSTEM

As a result of intel'lsive' study by the faculty, a n : ne-point g radin g system has been approved and becomes effecti v ~ ·with the 1958-59 academic year.

Grading as to progress p ermitting credit:

Marking

The grades in numbers as above indicate the value of each semester hour of credit and also become the means for calculating the student's grade point average (GPA) to compare with prevailing scholarship standards. Students are urged to calculate their own GPA from time to time and realize their own status. The following two examples will be valuable in understanding the calculations:

Students above freshman classification having a grade point average of less than 3.50 at the end of any semester are likewise placed on scholastic probation.

Probation. At the close of a semester when final reports are in the Registrar's office from all instructors, scholastic probation is placed over those students who have not reached the minimum GPA as above on their classification. This probation applies to the following semester and the student may not enroll for more than 15 hours. During this semester on probation it is hoped that he will maintain a GPA of 3. 00 or 3.50 and higher as to his classification to restore him to good standing. In case he fails to meet the required GPA during the semester, he may be suspended for one semester or for an indefinite period by the Personnel and Scholarship Committee. When a student is readmitted after a period of suspens ~on, he must show satisfactory progress or the next suspension becomes permanent. A transfer student, whose record reveals dismissal or probation as to another institution, may be admitted on probation for a semester and be limited to a 15-hour registration wherein he must show a GPA of 3.00 or 3.50 as to his classification in order to continue in good standing.

For admission to the teacher-preparation curr i culum the student's record at the time must show a GPA of 5.00, or tl;i.e equivalent, if transfer grades must be considered.

Graduation and Certification . To qualify for graduation and being recommended by the Colle.ge for certification, the student's cumulative record on all graded hours in the College must show a GPA of 4.00 or higher.

The student must register for the course and pay the tuition charges before writin g the examination.

REPEAT COURSES

A student may and is urged to repeat any course in which he has failed. When such repeat course is passed, the new record cancels the first record and honor points are duly adjusted to affect the GPA. If a student's grade is below the minimum required in a course for a major / minor, he may repeat the course and the higher grade with honor points will be used. There may also be occasions when a student chooses to repeat a course purely for review, to be tak e n on an audit basis, without a change of grade.

HONORS COURSES

Peru Achievement Foundation. As a result of the work of a group of Peru State Teachers College Alumni the Peru Achievement Foundation was officially organized upon filing its Articles of Incorporation on June 20, 1955.

As stated in the Articles, it will be the purpose of the Corporation to aid Peru State College "by the solicitation of gifts, grants, devises and bequests . . . of real property or personal property . . . and to hold and administer ·the same as trustee thereof for the use and benefit of Nebraska State Teachers College at Peru, Nebraska."

Thus the Foundation provides a media through which gifts and annual contributions from alumni, parents, and friends of Peru State Teachers College can be legally accepted and utilized in the best manner possible.

At present the Foundation has one primary objective. This is to .. . "help Peru State College by providing scholarship aid to needy and worthy students." Conceivably the activity of the Foundation will broaden in the future, as its trusteeship enlarges.

During the 1957-58 academic year, contributions by alumni and friends of the College made possible the granting of ei g ht $120 one-year scholarships and the renewal for the second year of a $480 four-year grant.

These fou~dation schola; ships are granted in various amounts and for varied periods of time. Students interested in foun dation scholarships should apply to the Dean of Students.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

The College is supported by the state of Nebraska for the purpose of meeting the educational needs at the college level of the citizens of the state. Its chief purpose is to prepare men and women to serve in the elementary and secondary schools as teachers and for higher study in preparation as supervisors and administrators. The College also provides a general liberal education, pre-professional education, or terminal vocational education.

The instructional programs of the College consist of seven interrelated divisional programs under the captions of

Division of Health and Physical Education

Division of Language Arts

Division of Practical Arts

Division of Science and Mathematics

SELECTION OF PROGRAM OF STUDIES

To serve the students of the College with reference to the above programs, the courses offered under the several divisions are organized into curriculums, a term applied to a group of courses designed for an individual or for a group of individuals having a common purpose. The studies offered by the Colle ge include four-year professional curriculums in elementary education and in secondary education; a four-year liberal arts program flexible enough to satisfy a variety of interests; and a number of one-year and two-year terminal and pre-professional curriculums, including one-year and two-year curriculums in elementary education.

In general, the various curriculums offered by the Co llege consist partly of general education courses and partly of specialized courses. The general education courses are those set forth and required by all individual s for effective living, regardless of their vocations . The s pecialized courses are those that prepare specifically for teachin g ·or other vocations, or satisfy special avocational or cultural interests.

Upon enrolling, a student must choose a vocational objective or a field of principal cultural interest. This determines the curriculum that he will follow and the counselor who will guide him in his educational experiences. The choice may be tentative and may be changed later.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

Resident Credit. A student who has not been enrolled in on•campus classes within the ten years prior to application for graduation, mus t earn a minimum of nine hours of on.campus credit in order to qualify for a diploma or degree . The resident credit must be to the extent of 24 hours of the last 30 hours on the de• gree, and a corresponding proportion thereof as to a one.year or two.year diploma. By decision of the State Board of Education, this resident requirement may be waived in cases where any of the required resident credit is earned in any one of the four Nebraska State Teachers Colleges.

Correspondence and Extension Credit. Not more than on e.fourth of the to tal requirements for a diploma or a degree may b e satisfied through correspondence study and extension classes, and of this number the correspondence study alone cannot exceed one•eighth of the total hours. While study•center or off.campus classes are considered as e.xtension classes, this college will honor the same as equivalent to the campus evening classes for undergraduate credit and so carry resident credit if the classes are conducted by this college.

Major. Each candidate for a degree must complete, in addition to the general education requirements, one major according to the specific requireme nts under the divisional department concerned. A s econd major is possibl e and permissible.

Minors. Usually two minors are required in line with the requirements of the departments chosen. With the elementary education major the requirement is four twelve•hour minors in academic fields in which they will be teaching. See the de• partment concerned as to other exceptions.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

Occasionally, changes are made in graduation requirements. The student has the option of electing the requirements as stated in any catalog, since his matriculation. However, the choice includes all requirements contained in the one catalog and not a combination of requirements in two or more catalogs.

PRE-PROFESS I ONAL CU RR I CULUMS

M ost professional school's req u ire for entrance two or more years of college credit in general education or basic liberal arts courses which vary only slightly from one .profession to another. Since such work is required for the professional curriculums in training teachers, this College offers a variety of courses that serve as pre-pi ofessional education. Suggested among these are those for prospective · doctor~, deRtists, pharmacists, nurses, veterinarians, lawyers, engineers, •agriculturists, foresters, morticians, b u siness executives, journalists, and others . It is almost impossible to list all of the many preprofessional curricula. This does not preclude the availability of other preprofessional courses at Peru State. A student following a pre-professional program is urged to secure a bulletin from the institution to which he intends to transfer in order that specific requirements w ill be met. The following are some of the pre-professional curriculums.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

Pre-Agriculture

The student planning to transf er to a college of agriculture or any other professional school after two years of pre-agriculture training is advised to maintain a high scholastic average, and follow a program similar to the one outlined below.

Those who have creditably completed the above two -year curriculum may take the la st two years of work leading to the bachelor's degre e a:t the College of Agriculture at the University of Nebraska. Students will then be qualified to teach Vocational Ag riculture in the high schools a pproved by the State Bo

ADMISSION TO TEACHER PREPARATION CURRICULA

For some time all groups concerned with the preparation of teachers have been studying and evaluating plans for the admission of persons to teacher preparation curricula. All teacher preparation institutions, other professional groups, and lay citizens have been concerned with the improvement of the preparation of teachers. Admission to teacher preparation curricula is one phase which has needed improvement. The plan now in effect at Peru is one which represents the latest thinking · on the problem and also is representative of a great deal of !!:me and thought by the fac ulty.

1. All students who desire to be recommended for a teacher's certificate must make application for admission to the education curricula~

2. All one-year teacher candidates will apply for adm i ssion to teacher education curricula during the first month of their freshman year; two-year teacher candidates will make such application before the end of the first nine weeks of the second semester of their freshman year; four-year teacher candidates, during the first nine weeks of the second semester of their sophomore year. Transfer students of junior or senior standing must make an application for teacher education curricula during the first month after matriculation.

3. Applications should be filed in the office of the Head of the Division of ' Education located in the Administration building.

4. Each applicant for admission into teacher education curricula will be evaluated as a prospective teacher. The evaluation of the candidate will be made in terms of health, emotional stability, intellectual vigor, per68

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

sonality, and character traits. The evaluation will include tests, references , scholastic records, and personal interviews. A grade point avera g e of 5.00 or better is essential for admission.

5. Each a pplicant will be required to appear before a Committee for Selection of Candidates for Teacher Education Curricul a . a ccept him some other abiliti e s.

The Committee will accept the candidate, conditionally, or recommend that he follow curricula more suitable to his talents and

6. Only students who have been accepted into teacher edu~ cation curricula will be eligible for practice teaching or recommended for a teaching certificate.

STUDENT TEACHING

To be eli g ible for assignment to student teachin g certain requirements must be met by the applicant. These are as follows:

1. The student must hp ve been accepted into the teacher education curriculum and have completed the necessary prerequisites in professional education .

2. The student must have earned a grade point average of at least 5.00 on all college work attempted, and have earn e d a grade of 5.00 or better in each course which is applied toward a major or minor, and be in good standing.

3. The student in both the two-year and four-year curriculums must present evidence that he will have sufficient credits for the two-year diploma or degree, respectively, one calendar year from the date of the first assignment to student teaching.

4. He must obtain approval from the Registrar, his counselor, the Chairman of the Personnel and Scholarship Committee, the Head of the Division of Education, the Heads of the Divisions of his major and minor teaching fields, and the Director of Student Teaching.

PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

The two-year program in elementary education is the first program offered at Peru that is broad enough to introduce the basic concept of student teaching. The outstanding feature of the two-year program is the full-time (block) teaching.

Student teachers in the "block" devote nine weeks to teaching one or more grades in the T. J. Majors Campus School during their third or fourth semester (seventh or eighth for students in the four-year curriculum). The first nine weeks of the semester is spent on courses in methods and management while the entire time of the following nine weeks is devoted to student teaching.

The student in the four-year program in secondary education is required to complete six semester hours of student teaching. Additional hours may be taken if recommended by the student's counselor and approved by the Head of the Division of Education. Generally, student teaching in the secondary program consists of one hour class daily for a semester in the student's major field and one hour class daily for eighteen weeks in a minor field.

In addition to actual class •responsibilities, each student teacher is required to attend regular meetings of the . ParentTeacher Association, assume noon hour duties, and to attend and help with such other activities as will be expected when they begin teaching.

The Division of Education has as its major function the preparation of the best possible teachers for Nebraska elementary and secondary schools. Readiness to teach is conditioned by a variety of factors. One of the most importanlt of these factors is provided by the other divisions of the college: i.e., mastery of th e subject matter to be taught. Other important factors, although of interest to all divisions of the college, are primarily the responsibility of the Division of Education. Among lhese are:

1. Understanding of human growth and development .

2. Good m ental health and rational behavior.

3 Awareness of the teacher candidate of his own problems, the way in which these problems affect his pupils, and how he can adapt his be-havior to minimize the negative consequences of these problems.

4. Sensitivity to factors whit:h influence learning.

5. Sufficient poise and self-confidence for classroom leadership

6. Skill in cooperation.

7. Professional attitude.

8. Knowledge and ability to apply bas ic principles of learning in the classroom.

MODERN LANGUAGES

Although forei gn lan g ua ge is not prescribed as a requirement in the earning of a degree in education, students who are anticipating advanced professional and graduate study should consider their own needs. Law, medicine, engineering, etc., require foreign languages and most graduate schools require one or more languages for graduation St!1dents are encouraged to take these courses as undergraduates. Students preparing to work in some other country should take the language of that country. Throu g h the readin g of choice literary work in their original language a greater interest in the people who use these languages is stimulated and better understanding is created . The existence of the United Nations makes this last point a necessary consideration.
